Heartbreak fertile soil when it comes to songwriting, and millions of songs have been dedicated to the wars and woes of love. But for Claudio Sanchez, creator of the galaxy-spanning Amory Wars series that’s been told across comic books, graphic novels and just about every album his band Coheed And Cambria have released over the past 20-plus years, surely a bunch of songs about failed relationships would seem, well… pedestrian?
“Every Coheed record stems from a personal place,” the singer counters. “I was afraid to be a frontman – and still am, to a degree. The Amory Wars concept is just a way for me to exorcise my truth and be more honest.”
